Letters Patent No. 82,216, dated Sqltcmber 15, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN GHURN-DASHERS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONOERN:

Be it known that I, ELLIOT H. FUNK, of Newark, in the county of Lioking, and State of Ohio, have invcnted certain newand useful -Improvements in Churn-Dashers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyng drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section, taken through the line x, fig. 2, and

Figure 2 is a vertical cross-section, taken through the line x of fig. 1.

The nature of this invention consists in the employment of pivoted or swinging d'asher-boards, operating in connection with breakers, all constructed and arranged substantially as will be hereinafter described.

To enable others to avail themselves of the benefits of my invention, I will now describe. its construction and operation.

In the accompanying' drawings- A represents the churn, which maybe made in any convenient form, and provided with top B.

D represents the dash-rod, the lower end of which is furnished with the cross-piece e. To the ends of this piece are secured the side-pieces d d.

g g are wings or flash-boards, pivoted between the cross-pieces cl ol.

It will be observed that the pivots upon which said pieces swing are located near their top or upper side, se that their centre of gravity will incline their lower sides to each other, as shown in fig. 2, the object of which .will be presently seen.

lt lt represent two boards, secured to the dash-red, 'so that they may incline outwards, as shown in fig. 2.

Both the boards h k and dash-boards g g are provided with asuitable number of holes.

E represents an arm, the lower end of which is hinged to the churn. The upper end of said 'arm is pivotcd to lever F.

In this lever is a slot, through which the dash-bar extends, and is pivoted therein, as seen in fig. 1.

The object of this lever is to more easily work the dasher. i

The operation of my invention is as follows: As the-dasher dcscends, the wings being in the position indicated in fig. 2, the milk will rush through the holes in converging currents until it strikes against the breakboards h k, which, again violently changing the direction of the-currents, breaks the globules most eifectually as the dasher ascende. The wings are forcedapart by the milk nearly to a vertical position, thus'rcndering it very light of draught.

What I claini as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The pivoted swinging wings g g, in combination with the break-boards 71, h and dash-boards d d, all arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

' In testimony that I claim the foregoing as rny own, I affix iny signature in presence of two witncsses.

E. II. FUNK.
